JV ' s Joke To Victory TAT e went out each week to have VV fun, said Al Nieblas. This out- look for the jv football games came about because many of the jv players thought of the season as a stepping stone toward their varsity play. I ' m looking forward to playing varsity; that ' s what kept me going, said Robert Mulari. This lack of concern for the outcome of the game, however, produced a 6-4 record. It was hard to figure out, explained varsity player Eric Salley. They went out every game and played around; but they won more games than they lost. The freshman team followed the path of the varsity team more closely than that of the jv, posting a 2-8 record. A lack of dedication and players constantly quit- ting and rejoining the team made the players ' first season at North a disap- pointing one. The continuous changes in our starting line-up made it hard for us to concentrate and win, said Toby Holmes. On a quarterback option play, Julian Santos carries Moving outside on a kickoff. Bill Shropshire the ball toward the sideline to stop the clock. North dodges a defender on his way to the sideline. North lost to Poly, 6-14. defeated Corona, 27-13. s - S9 jv, freshman football 71

X COUNTRY Running Sparks Exhilaration After having been at school all day, how would you like to run eight miles? That ' s exactly what the cross country team did every day after school. Some found it easy, while others found it challenging. But one way or the other, they all kept running. I enjoy running, commented Chris Bretischwerdt, the captain of the cross country team. It ' s easy for me. Ben Barbee, one of the freshmen on the team, said, I found it challenging at first, but since I had run in junior high, it soon became easy for me. Through all this practice, the team got in shape for their races, but still only placed sixth in the Ivy league since most were first year freshmen runners. The run- ning was still exhilarating though, even without the victories, said Barbee. After having run three miles, John Coles tiredly crosses the finish line. North wound up losing to Arlington, 15-50. Running closely behind his opponent, Joe Lujano races through Corona High School. North fell to Corona, 15-50. 72 sports
